"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the

  - A flaw was found in grub2. A specially crafted JPEG file can cause the JPEG parser of grub2 to incorrectly
    check the bounds of its internal buffers, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. The possibility of
    overwriting sensitive information to bypass secure boot protections is not discarded. (CVE-2024-45774)

  - A flaw was found in grub2 where the grub_extcmd_dispatcher() function calls grub_arg_list_alloc() to
    allocate memory for the grub's argument list. However, it fails to check in case the memory allocation
    fails. Once the allocation fails, a NULL point will be processed by the parse_option() function, leading
    grub to crash or, in some rare scenarios, corrupt the IVT data. (CVE-2024-45775)

  - When reading the language .mo file in grub_mofile_open(), grub2 fails to verify an integer overflow when
    allocating its internal buffer. A crafted .mo file may lead the buffer size calculation to overflow,
    leading to out-of-bound reads and writes. This flaw allows an attacker to leak sensitive data or overwrite
    critical data, possibly circumventing secure boot protections. (CVE-2024-45776)

  - A flaw was found in grub2. The calculation of the translation buffer when reading a language .mo file in
    grub_gettext_getstr_from_position() may overflow, leading to a Out-of-bound write. This issue can be
    leveraged by an attacker to overwrite grub2's sensitive heap data, eventually leading to the circumvention
    of secure boot protections. (CVE-2024-45777)

  - A flaw was found in grub2. When reading a symbolic link's name from a UFS filesystem, grub2 fails to
    validate the string length taken as an input. The lack of validation may lead to a heap out-of-bounds
    write, causing data integrity issues and eventually allowing an attacker to circumvent secure boot
    protections. (CVE-2024-45781)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
